Storyboards for ads, film, animation and music videos

15–25 black-and-white frames a day, ready for the pre-pro meeting.

Storyboard sheet by Seb Antoniou — Premier League 'The Run-In' campaign, multi-panel black-and-white storyboard frames showing the campaign edit.
What you get

Every board, the same way.

  • Scene + shot numbers

    Every frame numbered the way pre-pro needs them. No translation step before the meeting.

  • Camera notes

    Arrows for movement, framing, lens choice — the practical detail a DP or director uses on set.

  • Timing

    Beats noted against the script. Long shots flagged. Cuts that need an animatic flagged early.

  • Revisions included

    One round of amends on a day-rate job. Same-day amends are normal on TVCs.

How a job runs

Brief in, boards out, five steps.

  1. Brief in, quote out

    Send a script, shot list, or even a phone call. Quote back within 24 hours on weekdays with a frame estimate.

  2. Script read

    Sit with the script and the references. Mark the moments that need a board and the ones that don’t.

  3. First pass

    15–25 black-and-white frames per day, scene-and-shot numbered, with arrows for movement.

  4. Revisions

    One round included. Same-day amends are normal on TVCs.

  5. Final delivery

    Layered PSD, flattened JPEGs at print resolution, or TIFFs — whichever pre-pro needs.

FAQ

Questions producers usually ask.

  • How fast can you turn boards around?

    15–25 black-and-white frames per day on a single-day brief. Quote back within 24 hours on weekdays. First frames typically inside 48 hours of brief sign-off.

  • Colour or black-and-white?

    B&W as standard. Colour add-on at roughly 1 extra day per 10–12 colour frames — costed separately on the rates page.

  • Can you work from a script alone, without a shot list?

    Yes. Send the script and any references, and the boards come back scene- and shot-numbered with my interpretation of the cut. We tighten on the revision pass.

  • How many revisions are included?

    One round of amends on a day-rate job. Same-day amends are standard on TVCs. Bigger creative pivots get quoted separately.

  • Can you work in-house at the agency or production company?

    Yes. Remote is the default, but I'm in London and can sit in at the agency or production office for pre-pro week if that's what the brief needs.

  • What about tighter budgets — shorter projects, indie films, music videos?

    Fixed project fees on request. Music video and indie film bookings often work as a half-day or block rate. Send the brief and I'll quote a number that fits.
